'I believe it was one of those things where it's like he [J.J. Abrams] might have been prepared to hire me, but they wanted somebody younger,' the actor recalled.
Despite losing the role to Pine, Olyphant had nothing but kind words for the actor, who he says he has since met.
“I have since then met Chris Pine and I am a huge fan of him, both on- and off-screen. I love that guy,” he said of Pine. “He’s a good dude.” He continued, “This sounds very show business-y, but I had the honor — we’re going to say honor — to go to the Golden Globes one year … and I spent most of the evening at the bar with Chris Pine. Just really really adored him. What a good guy. And I really like his work. He’s one of those guys who makes it look simple and easy.”
“Auditioning sucks and the fact that I remember the audition process fondly says a lot about J.J. Abrams and what a wonderful man that guy is,” he added.films also starred Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldaña and John Cho.
